Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated ovirt-guest-agent packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available.
Description
The rhevm-guest-agent allows the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to
receive internal guest events and retrieve information such as the IP address
and list of installed applications from the guest. Additionally the guest agent
allows the Manager to execute specific commands, such as shut down or reboot, on
guest virtual machines.
Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization guest agents are advised to
install these updated rhevm-guest-agent packages in their virtual machines.
Changes to the rhevm-guest-agent component:
- Previously, rhevm-guest-agent on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was not reported
in appsList, because the pattern was Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 specific. Now,
the pattern has been corrected, and rhevm-guest-agent is reported in appsList on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. (BZ#1028006)
